Happy New Year 2021 and Good Riddance 2020!
What a challenging year it has been. I know I am not alone in my thinking. The one constant has been my painting, which the pandemic did not adversely affect. Sales from the Door County gallery were much better than expected and as were my direct sales. I think people were stuck at home and had more time to scroll through a gazillion paintings, and were sick of looking at their same boring walls. For all of that, I am very grateful. I painted my little heart out, tried new genres and explored new techniques and products without guilt, and I loved every minute of it.
The pitcher in the painting was handmade by my multi-talented daughter-in-law. I love that it is not perfectly shaped as if it were formed in a mold. It was made just for me, which brings a wonderful feeling to my heart. The little tea cups were a Christmas gift from one of my god-daughters who lives in Japan and I love them! Unfortunately, one broke in the shipping, and another was broken by an Italian family member talking with his hands who shall remain nameless, and who knocked it from my hand.
I am very honored that you have stuck with me all this time and read my stories about my work. I hope you have enjoyed hearing from me. I would love it if you would pass my contact information along, as I would love to increase my reach.
I wish you and your family a very happy year ahead, filled with promise, hopefully with good health and an end to the virus.
